Thanks, everybody for your responses. I think I have one coming soon. Just have to get a money order in the mail Monday. Sorry I haven't posted sooner. Hectic weekend.

I have been driving my '71 Dart for over a year now with a broken brake booster. A booster for a '71 Dart with a /6 has become a rare item apparently. Over the last 3 years, I've repaired mine twice and last year it broke for the third time and I can't fix it. None of the parts stores can get it...

I wish I had taken a picture of what I found in the pan, but I dropped the pan at a friend's house and didn't have a camera handy. I'm sitting here trying to think of something to compare the pieces to. I know that every time I've ever changed a filter there is a bit of ground up metal to be...

Adjust the bands? How do I go about doing that? Not to show my ignorance, but I've been changing transmission filters for years and nobody's ever told me I needed to adjust the bands. I'm not questioning you're advice, just asking if you can elaborate. Would band wear account for the fact that...

No pressure though, right? lol I love Airplane! If Blockbuster hadn't closed down I'd go rent it and the sequel tonight. Over Macho Grande? No, I don't think I'll ever be over Macho Grande..... I feel so stupid letting the Dart run so low on tranny fluid like that. I went and bought a filter...

Well, I was right about the vacuum leak, but that apparently was a coincidence and totally unrelated to the transmission issue. I found a cap that had come off a vacuum port on the intake. Replaced the cap and the car runs fine. I took it down the road and it acted like it didn't want to...

I've had vacuum leaks in the recent past and the motor spit and sputtered just like it is now. I don't know for sure that that's the problem, but it just acted like a vacuum leak. Now that the weather has improved, I'll get out and do some investigating today, see if I can find more clues as...

Hey Everyone, I'm sure if I searched long enough I would find the answer to my problem in an old thread, but I'm way past my bedtime and really need to get my car back on the road ASAP. As my user name implies, I have a '71 Dart Custom, 225 /6. The other day, I noticed that it was shifting...

Well, somebody already did that. That's why I couldn't find it. I finally found it laying on the passengers side where the glove box used to be. I pulled the old cardboard glove box liner out yrs ago because it was split and coming apart, so I have no good excuse for not being able to find the...

And you were.....you truly were, lol.

That is a very helpful reply, thank you. :idea1: :laughing: I told my wife earlier that if I could just get the old flasher to work I'd be able to hear it clicking and then I'd find it and replace it.

Uh, I realize I posted this thread six months ago, but I've just been manually working my blinkers all this time. A few minutes ago I finally went and pulled my CD player out of my dash so I could see both sides of the ashtray and I'm fairly confident in saying that the signal flasher is not...

Me and my wife were very bummed when Eureka went away. You never knew what totally unimaginable thing was gonna happen next.

If you want cheap low budget cheesiness, check out any one of the many "Sci Fi" network original movies. I've yet to see one worth watching, not that I would expect much to begin with.

Yeah, reality shows like that remind me of the old wrestling show on Saturday night. All staged and scripted. I watched it, but even as a child I could tell it wasn't real. Couldn't convince my grandmother of that, though. She loved that rasslin'. I quit watching "reality tv" a few years ago...
